André (abartholomeu) | 17 comments Hi,

I don't know how to merge (not combine) these two books, as the first one was incorrectly created, resulting in someone creating a new one - the second.

Please notice that the ISBN13 for both should be 9788542215809.

O Profeta (ISBN with "9788542215" - missing the "809" at the end, as it is actually the ISBN13)

O profeta (ISBN13 correctly filled with "9788542215809") * I believe this one is the one to be kept in the end...

Also, just to make sure: only superlibrarians can merge books, right?

Daniel Bratell | 518 comments Librarians can delete/merge unused books, and the 9788542215 book qualifies but it involves some steps that are way too hard for me when there are 3000 editions. I tried to hand write appropriate urls but the server did not accept that.

Arenda | 26447 comments The first link is listed as hardcover, the second link as paperback.
According to the publisher isbn 9788542215809 is a paperback, according to Amazon BR, isbn 9788542215809 is a hardcover.

Daniel Bratell | 518 comments So possibly the same book was published both as a paperback and a hardcover with the same isbn? Or (equally likely), one of the entries is wrong.

André (abartholomeu) | 17 comments Yeah, it's totally confusing...
I think it is probably hardcover, as I found some pics of it (e.g. https://photos.enjoei.com.br/livro-o-...), but none that looked like a paperback edition...

Arenda | 26447 comments Duplicate merged. Set format as hardcover and left a Librarian note about the format confusion.
